During yesterday's keynote presentation at BlackBerry Jam, Christopher Smith, VP of BlackBerry Application Platform & Tools at RIM, chatted with David from Cisco about WebEx on BlackBerry 10. David explained that BlackBerry is a leading platform for them, and gave us a look at the new BlackBerry 10 app they're working on using Cascades.
